deep they were probably killed. I find Rosa micrantha, Smith, at 
Port. Jefferson. Prunus spinosa, L, I find here, but it does not flow- 
er, and it flowers very sparingly at Northville. It is very plenty 
about East Hampton. I have long heard that the Sugar Maple, 
Acer saccharinum, Wang., grew on the cliffs near the Sound, at Bait- 
ing Hollow, so I went to see for myself. The trees were all cut 
down about three years ago. Some of them were from 15 to 18 
inches in diameter. Only one or two have sprouted, but there are 
plenty of seedlings, so I think they are established. They were not 
on the cliffs, but at their foot, on the inner or south side. The hill 
was about 50 feet high, very steep, and in the shape df an ox-bow. 
The trees were in a very warm and sheltered place. Near there, I 
am told, a single specimen of Tulip Tree, Ziriodendron tulipifera, 
L., once grew, but it has been cut down. The young ones are 
’ coming up thickly. 1 know of but one other in the country that is 
near here. I once found a'single specimen of Vaccaria vulgaris, 
Ait., in a field of grain. A single specimen of Camelina sativa, 
Crantz, is all I ever saw here, and so of Aradis perfoliata, Lam, I 
saw once a plant of Amorpha fruticosa, L., growing at Mt. Sinai, but 
it has been destroyed, and I have never seen any more. I have re- 
cently found here Adium tricoccum, Ait., A. Canadense, Kalm., Ra- 
nunculus repens, L., and Barbarea praecox, R. Br. I have just found 
Adiantum pedatum, L., near East Hampton. I find Arethusa bulbosa, 
L., growing in great abundance in the swamp adjoining Hook Pond, 
in the village of East Hampton. I gathered several hundred speci- 
mens in a very small part of the swamp. No one need have any 
fear of destroying that locality by collecting specimens. :
